Hi Ken,

Nope my Doral is not for sale and it is not going to be. Can't wait for this season to start. But alot of snow has to melt first !

We are attending the Montreal boat show this weekend just to tease us a little.

cheers !

Re: Been a while.

I was at the boat show last month and saw all the new boats and brands . Doral still has the fit and finish hands down .

They only make 23ft and up now wich is the Elite series. They closed there plant in Ontario were they made all the smaller boats like mine .

The new Elite series makes us want to sell our house he he

May take a couple of houses for some of those boats !!!!

Re: Been a while.

Yep no more boats like ours. Seems like Doral is trying to place themselves as a high end brand only now. Similar to Cobalt in price and quality.

Oh well. I guess our boats value on the used market just went up!

Re: Been a while.

The manufacturer's forums don't seem to be very popular hereabouts.
Ran across the same thing with my brands.

Re: Been a while.

Hey guys! It's been a long winter... I'm already getting my boat ready. Getting the hull repaired at a fiberglass shop (figured I'd beat the rush). Typically I'll fix small things on my own, but the keel was pretty bad from prior owner....cpl blisters...and BIG spidercrack. Guy at the shop states it's either from the frame comming apart and slamming from inside out or...big wave...stress crack. He looked it over, thinks its just a stress crack, pretty solid...so he is fixing the outside of the hull...keep my eyes open for more cracking in the future. Would have been a lot more to open the boat to see if the structer is bad...Anywho... counting the days to the season...last year was so rainy.

Re: Been a while.

Good Luck with the repair.
Phil, I much prefer that lake when it is liquid !!!!

Re: Been a while.

I downsized the pic too much 'll try again. The lake was so solid this year we had about 18 inches, lots of trucks out on it doing work at all the cottages that are water access only.
